His education & experience have taken him to such places as Kent Country Club in Grand Rapids Michigan, Tavern on the Creek & the Hilton Resort on Hilton Head Island and Nantucket Island at the Straight Wharf Restaurant and Harbor House Hotel.

In 2001 Chef David went from north to south, from one island to another. After working in a large market, the chef’s focus changed to local and sustainable with fresh fish and local flavor.
